Carte Magic Expanding Ooze

Expanding Ooze is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

{B}{G}: Adapt 1. (If this creature has no +1/+1 counters on it, put a +1/+1 counter on it.) Whenever this creature attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on target modified creature you control. (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications.)

How it works : Expanding Ooze

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    An Aura controlled by another player does not cause a creature you control to be modified.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    A creature with a counter on it is considered modified no matter what kind of counter it is or which player put it on that creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    A creature that is equipped is considered modified no matter who controls the Equipment that's attached to it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    You can always activate an ability that will cause a creature to adapt. As that ability resolves, if the creature has a +1/+1 counter on it for any reason, you simply won't put any +1/+1 counters on it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    If a creature somehow loses all of its +1/+1 counters, it can adapt again and get more +1/+1 counters.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
